If you are in a hurry to have Apache Felix Karaf up and running right away, this section will provide you with some basic steps for checking out, building and running the server in no time. This is clearly not a complete guide so you may want to check other sections of this guide for further information.
...
Background
Apache Felix Karaf is a small and lightweight OSGi based runtime. This provides a small lightweight container onto which various bundles can be deployed.
| Tip |
|---|
Apache Felix Karaf started life as the Apache ServiceMix kernel and then moved as a Apache Felix subproject. |
...
The Karaf source is found at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/felixkaraf/trunk/karaf/
. To check out with a command line client:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
$ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/felixkaraf/trunk/karaf/ |
Build
Change directory to the top level of the source checkout. Build Karaf using Maven as follows:
...
Distributions will be created in assembly/target. Select the file compression format compatible with your system (apache-felix-karaf-12.0.0.zip for windows, apache-felix-karaf-12.0.0.tar.gz for unixes) and expand the binary in a new directory; for example in z:\karaf - from now on this directory will be referenced as <KARAF_HOME>. Please remember the restrictions concerning illegal characters in Java paths, e.g. !, % etc.
...
| Tip |
|---|
To generate Eclipse projects for all modules, in KARAF_HOME type: mvn -Psetup.eclipse Then add each module location, prefixing each name with org.apache.felix.karaf (for example org.apache.felix.karaf.shell.core) |
Start the server

Stopping and uninstalling the sample application
...
This document showed you how simple it is to have Apache Felix Karaf up and running. The overall time for getting the server running should be less than five minutes if you have the prerequisite (Java 1.5) already installed. Additionally, this article also showed you how to deploy and test a simple Apache Camel application in less than five minutes.
